Blindness

What does Blindness mean in American Law?

The definition of Blindness in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is:

The condition of being without sight. It may be total or partial, e.g., one may suffer from blindness but be able dimly to detect moving shapes. Blindness is variously statutorily defined, often in terms of percentage of normal vision or by other technical criteria, for divers purposes, e.g., receipt of disability payments, and one may be “legally blind” for some purposes even though one retains a substantial measure of sight. See also color blindness.
